Absolutely phenomenal.
Vasili is an amazingly talented operatic Tenor (I have a background in classical music myself therefore should be in a good place to make that call). He is also a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish with the booking process. Impeccable manners, smart and en pointe throughout!
Vasili is a star!!

I made a booking with Georgiana for Vasili to perform at a Civil Service affiliated event. A Minister and other special guests were in attendance. From the first engagement with Georgiana I was grateful for her professionalism and advice, especially regarding how to properly introduce Vasili to the audience and how the event could be best arranged to ensure the performance was the highlight of the evening. Vasili's performance was flawless. His voice was captivating and the song choice reflected the themes of the event. Vasili has a true presence and gravitas during every moment of his set. He received a standing ovation from the guests and his performance was incredibly well received by the guests, which in turn elevated how special the evening was. We are beyond pleased that Vasili performed at our event and I anticipate making several bookings in the near future on the basis of how exceptional our experience was with Vasili and Georgiana.

Thank you so much for singing last Wednesday, I thought you were fantastic and by the standing ovation so did the rest of the room. I will keep you in mind for future events.

Birthday,Chester, U, 2 years ago

We wanted to get a tenor singer for Grans 90th birthday to sing her Wedding song and also songs that her and Gramps used to sing to each other in the house mainly Mario Lanza songs. When we found Vasili Karpiak we sent and Email and from that we had a Phone call off his dear friend/manager and from the word go I could tell this is who we wanted! He desperately wanted to make Grans birthday a night to remember and Georgiana George made sure that is what we got, I could not have ever imagined what lengths Vasili and Georgiana would go to, to ensure it was as special as possible. Georgiana your wonderful words I will remember forever and every word of it is so very true and more than we could have ever hoped for and that's not even the incredible performance that Vasili gave us and what extreme lengths he would go to memorising all of Grans personal and most heart warming songs. You didn't just come and perform for us you gave us a reminder of just how important family is! You are an incredible lady Georgiana we were extremely blessed to have you with us. Vasili we wanted you to come and sing to gran because you have an incredible voice the type of voice that gives you goose bumps! But I have to say to memorise those 3 songs we requested only 2 days previous to the event is simply amazing you performed them beautifully but not only do you have an incredible voice you have an amazing personality that shone through when you had us all up dancing like you were part of the family. You both gave us all a night to remember one that we will treasure for ever, we will all try and get Gran down to London this year to meet up with you. We all feel very lucky to have found such warm hearted inspiring, talented people like yourselves we all can not thank you enough!! All our love from the Lloyds/extended Lloyds family xxx

I write with regard to Mr Vasili Karpiak and am very pleased to confirm that he was employed to perform at our Annual Gala Concert held here at the National Liberal Club 8 th August 2014. We were introduced to Mr Karpiak, through the Honourable Society of the Knights of the Round Table who had given him an Award and of which our Chairman is a member.Each year since 2011 we have arranged a Summer Gala Concert and Dinner in August, featuring a range of professional musicians. This black tie gala event is an important part of the social calendar of the club, attracting many members and their guests each year. Mr Karpiak’s performance was particularly well received and he had put together, at our request, a varied selection of arias from Italian opera. Based on his splendid performance of two 45 minute sections, he clearly has a wonderful talent and a great future ahead of him. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Karpiak to anyone who is looking to employ the services of such a young tenor and we wish him well in his future career in this very competitive industry.

This amazing tenor, Vasili Karpiak, came and performed for Mum. Learning and singing special songs that meant so much to her. Can't thank him enough

Mr Vasili Karpiak (tenor), at my request and booking, sang for the Annual Banquet of the Wandsmen of St Paul's Cathedral, London held at the Livery Hall of the Worshipful company of Cutlers,Warwick Lane, London EC4M 7BR are on Friday 8th of March 2013. Such an important occasion such as this, by tradition, requires an exceptional standard of performance and Mr Karpiak was acknowledged as possibly the finest Operatic singer the occasion had welcomed in the last 20 years. Someone involved in the world of opera in the Arts for 50 or more years I consider Mr Karpiak to be a prodigious talent with hopefully superb musical and professional future

There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate your part in our celebration of mum's 90th birthday. After a tiring train journey when you would probably like to have rested, your first thoughts were that you needed to learn everything to make the evening personal and special for Mum. Special doesn't even cover it - it was utterly amazing - there aren't enough adjectives to describe it!! We knew we were getting a tenor to perform but never could we have expected what you both gave us. Vasili you put your heart and soul into your performance and your preparation,learning new songs at the last minute. Your beautiful voice and emotional rendition of the music reached out and grabbed the hearts of those there. Many who didn't know this music, said they were so moved and thought it was wonderful. The effect on Mum was so touching - how deeply she was affected by those songs that took her back to when her and Dad were young. Vasili your dancing with her was beautiful and brought many to tears. The fact that you both entered into the party spirit,dancing with us and interacting was so unexpected & truly unbelievable. Mum said afterwards that she had a wonderful time that she'll remember for the rest of her days. We can honestly say that we all feel the same. Unforgettable!! Thank you doesn't seem a big enough word to express how much you have touched our hearts but we thank you for our wonderful, special evening. We send our love and best wishes to you xx

Although it was not the ideal environment in which to perform, they were incredibly accommodating and made the best of it. There were some real opera fans in the audience and they were in raptures about these two voices. I shall watch as Vasili and Anna progress in their careers, and I hope that they will let me know should there be other opportunities to hear them sing. Together with their excellent accompanist, they provided the highlight of the evening and I couldn't have asked for more

This was a night we will never forget and was made so memorable by your surprise. My husband was stunned and moved and we captured all of his emotion and all of your performance on videos which I know we will play over and over. Thank you so much for helping me to pull this off. It felt truly special.
